EUROTECH S.p.A : COMMANDES DE 2,8 MILLIONS DE DOLLARS D'UN CLIENT DU SECTEUR MEDICAL

Amaro (Italie), le 28 septembre 2009 - Eurotech, fournisseur leader de produits et technologies embarqués, annonce aujourd'hui avoir reçu des commandes, d'un montant de 2,8 millions de dollars US, d'une plateforme de calcul embarquée pour un dispositif OEM pour le monitoring à distance des patients. Après avoir eu recours initialement à une plateforme standard d'Eurotech, le client a activé une seconde phase du projet afin d'enrichir et de rendre plus précis le dispositif, en choisissant une plateforme sur mesure pour une application spécifique.


La plateforme standard est BitsyXb basée sur l'architecture ARM et la plateforme optimisée utilise la même architecture de processeur et ce facteur clé aidera le client à conserver l'approbation de la FDA pour son dispositif.

"Remote patient health monitoring and telemedicine markets continue to grow, with a projected market value [in the US] of 134 million USD in 2010 for remote patient monitoring alone" says Zachary Bujnoch, industry analyst with Frost & Sullivan. "Companies that make the best use of available technology to deliver the capabilities to satisfy the demands of this market are well-positioned for future growth as the segment matures."

"Extending device lifecycles through strategic migration planning is a value Eurotech brings to all our customer relationships," explains Greg Nicoloso, CEO of Eurotech in North America. "Especially in this market, with certification requirements and expenses to consider, OEMs require the longest possible lifecyle of their medical devices to bring the greatest success to their business. It is Eurotech's goal to enable our customers' success by lengthening the OEM product lifecycle."
